Today, I was watching TV when a Toy Story 3 commercial came on. My Mom said, "Oh, I remember when I took you to see Toy Story. Now Andy's all grown up and so are you. The only difference is Andy is going to college and you're not." FML

It's not your fault that your ma masturbates to the idea of having a kid that goes to college. You are you! Sometimes I wish I wasn't going to uni and had opted to learn a nice trade instead. Or married a very old hotel tycoon.

I only said that cause if you generally study and do good in school it is easier to get into college especially if you get scholarships and such. As a current student most of the kids around me not getting into college are not able to get in because of grades.

Jane: I know, but then again not everyone wants to do some of the physical labor that goes along with some of that training, or jobs. I would, but I get paid to go to college, and I'm going to earn my degree? More incentive for me to stay in college. Lol

if the op really wanted to go to college then money is not the concern. he could take out student loans, go to a cheap/community college. and having been through the financial aid system, I can tell you that there is a lot of opportunity grant wise if you can't afford it. YDI for complaining about a choice you made.

for the people that keep talking about finances I'd just like to say that anybody can go to college. my family isn't very well off financially especially in this current economy yet my brother is going to USC as a Texas resident, my sister goes to the university of Texas and I am about to apply for colleges (junior in hs). how do we pay? FAFSA and other numerous loans and scholarships. and no you don't have to be smart to get scholarships, my good friend got accepted into rice with a football scholarship and he had crazy amounts of other offers since he was the undefeated texas state wrestling champ. I acually have a scholarship for being left handed, not much at all (around $500) but it is still something.

since ur mum is blaming you for not going to college, then it must be your fault, thus ydi. but maybe op had some personal problems that interfered with studying, if so then I feel you, I also had to skip an entire year in college due to personal reasons
